Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's k IF.

Speaker 2 (00:00):
I am six forty and you're listening to the Conway
Show on demand on the iHeartRadio app. Big Day here,
Big Fall Day here in September, and that means the
Dodgers are in the news. Joining us is play by
play for the last ten years with the LA Dodgers.
Tim Kats how you Bob. I don't do play by
play on whatever, whatever whatever. I don't know what you

(00:22):
guys do over there.

Speaker 3 (00:23):
Just got off the air over on a five seventy
LA Sports. What a day. That's a big day.

Speaker 2 (00:27):
Yeah, you know, I remember, going back almost a year ago,
we were standing in that studio at the KLA see
the Dodgers studio. You had the bamboo stick YEP and
the Yankees led up five unearned run to the Dodgers,
and the Dodgers went on to win the World Series.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
You remember that as things were unraveling for the Yankees,
good we were all looking at each other and then
it was kind of like, hey, don't move right exactly
wherever you're standing, don't whatever you're doing, don't move very
super because the good vibes were flowing right and I
had that that that stick, the bamboo stick and I
had splinters. I felt like afterwards, it's getting it so
hard on the ground.

Speaker 2 (01:00):
It was my It was my favorite day here at
iHeart since I started in twenty ten. To be in
that studio with four or five guys, all Dodger fans,
watching the Yankees crumble and the Dodgers go on to
win the World Series.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Yeah, that was a great and I get to do
Dodger Talk and people were crying after the game that night.
So now we've got people crying about the bullpen and
how they've been struggling in the last couple of weeks.
I haven't noticed that. Have they been struggling a little bit? Yeah,
they've got twenty seven blown saves this year, which I
think is not a good number. Yeah, but they won today.
And we just got off the air on Dodger Talk
and I said, Hey, all the struggles, let's just put

(01:34):
away for the day. Let's celebrate this team. That's right,
all the ups, the downs, the injuries, the disappointments of
individual play, the celebrations of Otani and Freeman and Mookie,
Let's just celebrate that today because they had a bulls
eye on their back Conway all year long. Hundred percent. Now,
let me ask you a question. I don't mean to be.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
Funny here whatever, But when they celebrate and they have
champagne today and the whole Dodgers celebrate, ye, do they
let bullpen and celebrate with them?

Speaker 3 (02:01):
A couple of those guys have to stay on the outside.
There's a glass petition. They just kind to look and
it's like, yeah, you want to be a part of
this next time? No, No, they were all there. It
was kind of fun. Back in twenty thirteen when the
Dodgers won in Arizona, they all jumped in the pool.
A couple of years ago, the Dodgers won in Arizona
and they had the mounted police and everything, and they
wouldn't let him mup in the pool. Well, today they're like,
forget the pool and right center field show he had

(02:22):
a home run in the pool. They got a slipping
slide going inside the Dodger clubhouse great, and it was
an impromptu one because they have tarping everywhere, the plastic tarping,
and they have it on the ground too so it
doesn't soak up the carpet. And it was so wet
in there and guys were slipping that some of the translators,
Will Ireton, who's show Aotani's translator, was doing the slipping
slide and they were all this long line in the
clubhouse and they're just going back and forth on the

(02:44):
slipping slide that they made. But you know, that's what
it should be.

Speaker 2 (02:46):
I was watching I was on YouTube today looking at
stuff and it's all the very light, funny, you know,
moments between baseball players and they It should be like that.

Speaker 3 (02:55):
It's a kid's game. It's a grind. It's one hundred
and sixty two games over six months. You get like
three days off a month, and then you get the
All Star break and a lot of these guys are
going to the All Star Game. So to exhale and say, okay, finally,
season's basically over. We won a championship in our division,
We've outlasted everybody, and now we're going to the playoffs.
You have to celebrate that. It's not eighty two games

(03:17):
in the NBA, where you get three days off in
between games. You are grinding for six months. Yeah, and
the NFL, what are they have? Seventeen games?

Speaker 2 (03:25):
Seventeen games, seventeen games, you know, so it's almost ten
times the NFL season. It really is a grind.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
It's unbelievable that these guys have to go through and
you see them celebrate, and you know, some Dodger fans
online right now, like, we're supposed to win the Division
High now, I mean, we've won it twelve out of
the last thirteen years, so what guys, this is so
hard to do.

Speaker 2 (03:45):
And they would have won it that thirteenth time, but
they lost by one game to San Francisco.

Speaker 3 (03:49):
Yeah. Yeah, they've won ninety games the last ten years
outside of the COVID year. That's incredible. It's unreal. Yeah,
it is unreal. Dave Roberts has won nine Divisional championships
in his ten years. And now one year is the
year you just mentioned where they still won one hundred games, right,
and we'll lost by one game to the Giants.

Speaker 2 (04:05):
And if they don't win the World Series this year,
there will be people calling for Roberts heed one hundred percent.

Speaker 3 (04:11):
Yeah, Cray, he got a contract extension last offseason. They
start a little slow fire, Dave Roberts, what you just
got a four year contract? Be doing all right?

Speaker 2 (04:22):
So it's great that they can fly to Seattle to
will they leave tonight.

Speaker 3 (04:25):
They'll leave today. They're actually on the way of the
airport right now.

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Okay, so they'll arrive in Seattle tonight and they don't
have to win a game up there, which is great.

Speaker 3 (04:32):
Absolutely, they can take the weekend off, but they shouldn't,
right You still want to kind of keep that pressure
going and start and go out there and play like
you've been playing, because the last thing you want to
do is ease up, and then you go into Monday's
off day. Tuesday's wild Card game most likely going to
be Cincinnati or the New York Mets, who are fighting
right now and going into the weekend, they're going to
be battling. So you don't want to ease up while

(04:53):
those guys are fighting.

Speaker 2 (04:54):
And it's a weird schedule that they have where if
they go to three games in the wild Card all
three games will be played at Dodgers Stadium.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
It's the benefit of being the better team in the
Wildcard round. You get all three games. It's a tremendous advantage.
It's huge, and that's why it's hard like a team. Uh,
last year the New York Mets went into Milwaukee and
won the wild Card series.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
Well, remember when San Diego went to New York and
won it. Yeah, you know, I mean, you can't do it.
You can do it very difficult.

Speaker 3 (05:19):
And I think Dodger fans need to be kind of
cautious that the visiting team coming in Tuesday, whoever it is,
is going to be hungry to.

Speaker 2 (05:26):
Beat the Dodgers. Who's gonna what's the rotation for the playoffs?
That's the million dollar question. Is it going to be
o Tani to start game one on normal rest? Will
it be Tyler Glass?

Speaker 3 (05:35):
Now? Will it be Blake Snell who's been great? Or
is it gonna be Yamamoto who just made us thirty
the start this year? And you can make a case
is going to finish second in the Cy Young Award
voting in the National League, Right, but all these guys
to pick from behind Skans, Paul Paul Skins.

Speaker 2 (05:51):
You know he's got a girlfriend, Yeah, Kelly. It used
to be a cheerleader or gymnast.

Speaker 3 (05:56):
It's something.

Speaker 2 (05:58):
I don't I guess they're online somewhere, all right, So
Dodgers start Tuesday. Do you know what time that game is?
Seven o'clock TBD, probably TV four thirty five early. There's
four games on Tuesdays.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
Oh okay, and they start at like ten o'clock in
the morning our time in LA, then like at noon,
then four thirty, then five three. They kind of spread
them out, right, There is nothing the energy is unmatched
in this country, like playoff baseball inside of Major League stadium.
You say that, and I just hope that Dodger fans
don't look at the playoff schedule and say, okay, well
I'm gonna save it until the NLCS. No, no, no,

(06:31):
go early, get to the wildcar rent.

Speaker 2 (06:32):
There's no guarantees, right, and and the Dodgers need that energy.

Speaker 3 (06:37):
You don't want to three quarters you know, full Dodger
Stadium on Tuesday for the first game. You want it
to be packed.

Speaker 2 (06:42):
And you would kick yourself in the ass if you didn't,
if you decided to wait and didn't see Clayton Kershaw
playing his last game.

Speaker 3 (06:48):
Absolutely, because he's gonna be pitching out of the bullpen,
so you could see him in multiple games in that series.

Speaker 2 (06:52):
Okay, I just Belly just told me this. Okay, are
you also in the bullpen? You're pitching?

Speaker 3 (06:58):
I still have a little bit left in the tank.
You played for Burrows, right, Yes, I played for Burrows
thirty years ago, Conway years ago. It was really thirty
years ago. Yes, what position did you play for baseball? Yeah?

Speaker 2 (07:10):
I was a catcher, all right. And how many home
runs did you? I hit one? I still remember. It
was off a left hander who was a sophomore, I
believe at Valencia High School. I hit it onto the
second tennis court. Wow, if you're going at Burrows from
Keystone to Parish, you know it's a little visual there.

Speaker 3 (07:26):
Uh, the only one I hit. And you know what,
I'm such an idiot. I pointed to my then girlfriend
now wife in the stands after I hit it. Oh,
that's great. Did you ever get the ball? I did
get the ball? Oh you did?

Speaker 1 (07:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (07:35):
Did you still have it? I'd said, somewhere. It's somewhere.

Speaker 2 (07:38):
And when you hit one home run, Conway, you gotta
sell round right, it's got to hit it. Sounds like
a whole mantle full of them. All right, buddy, I
appreciate you coming on your giant stud and go Dodgers.
We'll see you in the studio. See you over there,
all right? Thing dong with you?

Speaker 3 (07:52):
All right?

Speaker 2 (07:52):
There, he goes Timmy Kate's big Dodger fan, huge, huge
addition to KLAS and works his ass off, does the Raiders,
the Clippers, the Pie, you know, the Dodgers, and works
his ass over there.

Speaker 4 (08:07):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 3 (08:12):
Dodgers win.

Speaker 2 (08:14):
They win the National League West, so they're going to
start playoffs on Tuesday at Dodgers Stadium. So get on
out there and watch your Los Angeles Dodgers.

Speaker 3 (08:23):
All right, we're getting details.

Speaker 2 (08:25):
Former FBI director James Comy indicted days after Trump demanded
his Department of Justice moved now to prosecute enemies.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
That's coming from ABC News.

Speaker 2 (08:37):
So, former FBI Director James Comy has been indicted on
charges of making a false statement and obstruction related to
his testimony before the Senate Committee in twenty twenty, just
days after Donald Trump issued a public demand for his
Justice Department to move quickly because I guess the statute

(08:58):
of limitations and next Tuesday and so. A statement released
by the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of
Virginia said that if convicted, Cami faces up to five
years in prison. Actual sentences for federal crimes are typically
less than the maximum penalties, So we'll see how that goes.
Very early stages of that. Back here in southern California

(09:22):
in Woodland Hills, there's a place called the Bothing Tree
Nursery and it's a boe Ting Bothing. Many of you
do not know where this is, including myself. I just
had to look it up. But if you get off
the one oh one at Valley Circle and you go

(09:42):
to Sagebrush Cantina, it's on the other side of the freeway,
right at the entrance there to all the fancy homes,
the million dollar homes there in Hidden Hills. And so
they're going to put they want to put a cemetery
and it's probably I don't know, ten fifteen twenty acres
that they've been growing trees there forever, you know, seventy

(10:03):
five years or so, and now they want to make
it a cemetery there and so obviously they're getting pushed
back and other people are for it. So let's get
some more information on the newest and latest cemetery to
hit Woodland Hill.

Speaker 5 (10:18):
For over seventy three years, this thirty two acre site
was home to both things at Treeland Nursery. Now new
owners plan to turn it into a cemetery. Some residents
support it, others have started a petition to block it.

Speaker 6 (10:30):
I think this is a win win situation where we'll
have green.

Speaker 7 (10:35):
How much traffic does the cemetery generate, Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:38):
Not much.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
It'll probably be like the Westwood Cemetery where most of
it is mausoleums and there are you know, some grave sites,
but it'll probably be very expensive. And the people who
own homes and hidden hills and calabases, when their you know, grandmother, grandfather, mother,
dad pass away, they'll be a lot closer to their relatives.

(10:59):
They don't have to go clear across the valley to
Forest Lawn.

Speaker 7 (11:03):
These are the questions that people need to ask.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
So we did.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Anthony Lampey is the marketing director for Dignity Memorial who
will be taking over the land.

Speaker 8 (11:11):
Most of the time, there's services are happening during the day,
daytime hours, not during commute hours.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (11:18):
Very few nighttime activity at the cemetery.

Speaker 8 (11:22):
And you know, we have control over the schedule ourselves
to make sure that you know, we don't impact the
traffic anymore.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
Than we would have to.

Speaker 5 (11:32):
The Boating family supports a cemetery, as do many residents right.

Speaker 9 (11:36):
Now, our options are Chatsworth or Burbank, and so I
think this adds a new space that kind.

Speaker 3 (11:41):
Of Chatsworth or Burbank. Let's go with the Woodland Hills.

Speaker 9 (11:44):
I think this adds a new space that kind of,
you know, fits the needs of the opportunity, allows people
who have lived here their whole lives to be here
their whole life.

Speaker 5 (11:51):
Just in terms of long term, a cemetery is going
to be there for a while, whereas a developer may
change their minds sell it in a few years.

Speaker 3 (11:59):
Yeah, that's true.

Speaker 2 (12:00):
If those thirty two acres were sold to develop and
they put a huge apartment complex, the people in Hidden
Hills will hate that, I think, even more than if
there's just a small little cemetery and something.

Speaker 10 (12:11):
Else could go up in there.

Speaker 5 (12:12):
But not everyone is on board. Biggest thing property values.

Speaker 2 (12:16):
Okay, that's a legitimate point, property values. If you live
next to a cemetery, your property value goes down. People
are still freaked out a little bit about living next
to a cemetery. It's always been that way, no matter
what city you go to, no matter what country you
go to, if you live right next door to a cemetery,

(12:37):
it still creeps some people up.

Speaker 11 (12:39):
We have done a lot of research and our property
values could drop up to twenty five percent.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
Okay, that's a lot.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
If you have a four million dollar home and there
are four million dollar homes in hidden hills, that could
drop by a million dollars. So you have to understand
their position as well, and that's huge.

Speaker 5 (12:58):
Bob and Jennike's backyard back right up to the edge
of the land where the new cemetery is planned. They
started collecting stidentatures for a petition from their neighbors against
the development.

Speaker 11 (13:07):
There's some people in the neighborhood who have some religious
objections to it. That's one issue. We do have some
neighbors who have small children. There's a freight scare factor
associated with them.

Speaker 5 (13:20):
We have neighbors who are really have a real phobia
about the cemetery. Lampe says he understands the worries in
the community, but says cemeteries are much quieter than new
stores or homes.

Speaker 8 (13:32):
We want to be good neighbors and fit in the community,
so we're very cognizant of the perimeter of the facility
and how we build out the landsite. Gate Starr, the
landscaping and set backs off the perimeter, fencing, safety, security,
that sort of thing.

Speaker 5 (13:47):
But for neighbors like the Dikes, it feels like their
voices are being ignored.

Speaker 11 (13:51):
If it ends up as a cemetery, we'd like to
have some input because, as you can see looking over
our shoulder, we'd be looking at it every days.

Speaker 5 (14:00):
Construction won't begin until sometime next year, he says. They're
going to survey and Chesta land to make sure it's
ready for the trees, grass and other landscaping. Reporting in
Wooden Hills, Lauren posen k Hel News.

Speaker 2 (14:11):
All Right, the newest cemetery right there off a valley
circle and the one oh one.

Speaker 3 (14:16):
We'll keep you update on that.

Speaker 2 (14:18):
The Dodgers are the big story here in southern California.
Blake Snell the newest edition, or one of the newest editions.
I just talked to David Vase in the Dodger Clubhouse
after the Dodgers beat the Arizona Diamondbacks ate nothing and
became the National West champions. So let's listen to Blake

(14:39):
Snell with David Vase.

Speaker 10 (14:42):
Dave who not get back here? Snell Zilla, Snell Zilla's
over here, ready to go too.

Speaker 12 (14:50):
Yeah, yeah, man, you were waiting for your opportunity to pitch.
You are waiting for your opportunity to show these group
of teammates what you could do.

Speaker 10 (14:58):
How sweet is this for you? Amazing winn the vision,
that's a good feeling.

Speaker 6 (15:02):
But winning a world series that's to go for a minute,
that's to go for the team has to go.

Speaker 10 (15:07):
But it's amazing. I'm gonna enjoy this. What is Kershaw
meant to you?

Speaker 12 (15:12):
I mean, here, here, he is soaking it all in
like it is his first time.

Speaker 10 (15:17):
You know, I can only talk in his language. I
love it. It's been amazing.

Speaker 6 (15:22):
He's I mean, we can't say enough good things about
the guy.

Speaker 10 (15:25):
But he gonna teach me how this works. You know,
it's celebrating. I don't want it in my eyes but
already having it hurt. But no, you're gonna teach me
how this is done. And we're gonna keep winning. Blake,
you signed here to be part of this.

Speaker 12 (15:42):
Do you feel like you guys haven't even scratched the
surface on how good you can bet?

Speaker 6 (15:47):
I think we're gonna really turn the corner now from
this point forward on investing in each other being. You know,
the best teammates we can be to find a way
to win every game. So I'm excited for what's to coach.

Speaker 12 (15:59):
Only dog show up in October, and we got a
dog right here in Sneil Zilla.

Speaker 6 (16:04):
Hey, chap Hi, it's out there, so let's go. Let's
go be great.

Speaker 12 (16:09):
Hey, you've been great and we only look forward to
it continuing in October. Thanks for the bath. Appreciate it,
you needed it. You look the little drive. Okay, Hey,
get in there with your teammate.

Speaker 10 (16:19):
Let's go enjoy our favorite month. Okay, I love it.
That's October. Snail Zilla will.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Be there all right.

Speaker 2 (16:24):
Dodgers going to Seattle for three games and they start
their playoff run on Tuesday at Dodgers Stadium. It'll probably
be the later game. There are four games. Just talk
to Tim Kates. There's four games on Tuesday. The last
game will probably start around five thirty and it'll probably
be the Dodger game. So, while it hasn't been determined

(16:46):
when it'll start, most likely about five thirty. So if
you're getting tickets to the Dodgers on Tuesday, it looks
like probably a five thirty five thirty five start somewhere
around there all.

Speaker 3 (16:56):
Right, when we'll come back.

Speaker 2 (16:57):
The YMCA has announced they're putting up a brand new
forty million dollar facility in Los Angeles in La County,
and we'll come back.

Speaker 3 (17:09):
We'll tell you where that is. It's Conway Show.

Speaker 2 (17:12):
Dodgers win, they become the champs to the National League
West again. That's great news. Beautiful fall weather outside and
the Dodgers winning. It seems like every single year, early
to mid late September we have this enjoyment in Los Angeles,
nice beautiful weather outside, and the Dodgers are going to
the playoffs.

Speaker 3 (17:31):
Dig dong with these Dodgers.

Speaker 4 (17:33):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
Am six forty.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
Before we get to Chris Stein to talk about this
car show. Let me tell you, because I promised you,
there's a brand new YMCA that's opening up in La County,
and I'm gonna tell you where it is. I think
you'll be excited. YMCA forty million dollar facilities for folks.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
That live in the area.

Speaker 13 (17:55):
You probably already know this space is the Carolyn Coleman Stadium,
and you could see we're standing on football field right now.
We've already got lots of folks out here this morning, walking,
jogging around the area, and over there is the baseball field.
Now this is not going anywhere.

Speaker 3 (18:08):
This is still going to be here.

Speaker 13 (18:09):
It's all going to be part of that larger YMCA
that is coming to Inglewood. And we have some photos
and videos of the renderings of what it's going to
look like.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
Take a look at this forty million dollar, brand new
YMCA coming to Inglewood.

Speaker 13 (18:23):
YMCA is unveiling their plan for a forty million dollar
center in Inglewood in partnership with the Inglewood Unified School District.
The new center, located on Inglewood Avenue, will serve the
communities of Inglewood, Hawthorne, and Lenox. The new chapter also
marks the YMCA's return to Inglewood. The YMCA previously had
a facility here from nineteen forty one until they closed

(18:43):
in two thousand and nine. The space will offer much
needed resources to families and students in the Inglewood Unified
School districts.

Speaker 2 (18:50):
This is great and it also increases the property value
as well if you live in any of those communities
surrounding this YMCA. This is a great, great day for
Los Angeles. We have a lot of crappy days here
in southern California. This is not one of them. Dodgers
whim National League West, and they announced the brand new
YMCA in Englewood, forty million dollar facility.

Speaker 14 (19:10):
There's been a need and you know, we've done a
lot of community listening sessions, so we've heard it loud
and clear from the community that they want to YMCA
in their community. They're hungry for opportunities for the youth,
the young adults, and for the families. They want a
safe space where people can come together and exercise and
be healthy and be well.

Speaker 13 (19:25):
The facility will also offer much needed recreational options, including
aquatic and basketball facilities, a gymnasium, fitness areas with cardio
and strength equipment, and dedicated spaces for children's activities and
group exercise. Programming will be offered for everyone from kids
in the early learning phase to adults.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
I want to all right, well there it is forty
million dollar facility. All right, let's talk to what Chris
Stein here, he's involved with this, this brand this car
show that's going on this Saturday, September twenty seventh, from
nine am to four pm out at the Warners Center.

Speaker 3 (19:59):
Chris Oki Hoi you.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Bob, I'm doing great. Thank him for having.

Speaker 2 (20:04):
Me, man, thanks for doing this for the fireman. I
bet they really appreciate it. So this is gonna be
a classic car show. It's free to get in, but
if you want to buy anything food or I don't know,
souvenirs or whatever, it's a cashless event.

Speaker 3 (20:17):
Is that correct?

Speaker 15 (20:19):
Yeah, that's correct.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
It's not just the car show. We've done several events.
This is the biggest forward facing community event we have
ever put on the Widows, Orphans and Disabled Firefighters Fun
which is the official charity for the LAAFD firefighters and
their families. So it's a car show, got about one
hundred and forty cars that are going to be there,
so if your car enthusiasts, come on out. It's also
a food competition, so I got fifteen of our local

(20:41):
firehouses competing all kinds of dishes. Local restaurants will be
out there as well, and the LAFD will be demoing
several of the different operations that we do, so you
can come out and watch some of these operations that
we do live there at Warner Center Park.

Speaker 2 (20:57):
Oh that's great, Okay, So is it gonna be a
chilly cook off. Is that usually what happens.

Speaker 1 (21:03):
This is all kinds of different, but you've got tried
hit brisket, chicken and waffles, local restaurants like Fugu de Choo,
Eastside Deli, Sweet gardens, so there's a lot of different
variety of foods, desserts, drinks. There's a local beer garden
with micro brews that are coming out as you can
enjoy that as well. Yeah, just an awesome event and
it is a cash list. It's a free event to

(21:24):
get in, but if you want to purchase any of
the food, you want to purchase merch you can buy
the tickets there on site raffle as well. And all
the proceeds of this are going to go to our charity,
and that money goes to firefighters who have been significantly
injured or illnesses, or firefighters that have paid the ultimate
price and lost their lives. We take care of all

(21:45):
the families that are left behind after they're passing.

Speaker 2 (21:49):
I can't think of a better charity in the world
than supporting the families of firefighters or police officers who've
either been injured or have passed away. This is asational event.
I know you've got a lot of great sponsors on
this thing too, which keeps it free. So it's fifty
eight hundred to Panga Canyon in Woodland Hills and it's

(22:10):
is it nine am to four pm?

Speaker 1 (22:12):
Yeah, nine am to four pm. We start serving around
ten thirty. Eleven o'clock is when we start. Actually the
food starts going out, but nine to four free parking
all around the area. They'll be signed there and where
to park with the parking is free. The event's free.
You just got to come out and pay for the
food and enjoy yourself. A lot of stuff for the
kids to do. If you're an animal enthusiasts, they have

(22:33):
a whole section for dogs to bring a dog out.
There'll be a therapy dog there from the LAFD. There's
other organizations that are bringing all their therapy dogs. So
it's a great opportunity if you have a dog to
bring your dog out.

Speaker 2 (22:45):
And this is what is going to make this event
even better. Saturday, the weather is sixty four is low,
no rain, and the highest seventy five degrees. It'll be
perfect weather for this event.

Speaker 1 (23:00):
Absolutely. Woodland Hills is usually one of the hottest places
in the valley, so tomorrow I mean Saturday, it's going
to be very enjoyable whether sects be out there all
day and be comfortable.

Speaker 2 (23:10):
Chris, thanks for coming on with us. Say hi to Dan,
and I hope a ton of people show up.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
I will thank you.

Speaker 3 (23:15):
Very m You got it.

Speaker 2 (23:17):
It's honoring heroes, fueling fun, family and community. It's this Saturday,
nine am to four pm, open to the public. Free
festival admission. It's free to get in. It's at the
Warner Center, fifty eight hundred to Panga Canyon in Woodland Hills.
And and all the money, all the proceeds go to
the family of firefighters who have either been lost to us,

(23:40):
either on duty, off duty, or have been injured. And
it's supporting the families that the husband, wife, father, son
made the ultimate sacrifice. And these types of shows raise
a lot of money to help them out and to
give them a helping hand. When we needed their help,
we called nine to one one they showed up. Now

(24:02):
it's your turn to show up Warner Center on Saturday,
fifty eight hundred bank of Boulevard, Tobanga Canyon, and that's
nine am until four pm, So get on out.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
You're listening to Tim Conway Junior on demand from KFI
AM six forty.

Speaker 2 (24:16):
All right, HOV lanes. If you have an EV and
you love being in the diamond lane, that's all coming
to an end. They sold you a big old fat lie.
Remember when you bought your EV. You bought it because
you want to ride in the diamond lane from Orange
County to LA and back every day and get home
ten minutes earlier. Well, that's all coming to an end.

(24:38):
So sorry, they just lied to you.

Speaker 16 (24:41):
This change is going to impact a lot of drivers
here in California and in other states as well. The
DMV telling me there are more than five hundred.

Speaker 3 (24:48):
Thousand active tav dcals in.

Speaker 16 (24:50):
California and nearly thirty thousand active dcals in Ella County alone.
The Clean Air Vehicle Decal program allowed solo drivers like
can Ferguson to shave time off the commute by hopping
in the HIV lane.

Speaker 1 (25:04):
That's right, the car pull lane. You're getting to pass
a few more cars, but then you guys are all stick.

Speaker 3 (25:08):
I got a standstill to a certain point.

Speaker 1 (25:10):
So, like I say, it helps if it helps me
save twenty so thirty minutes.

Speaker 16 (25:14):
The program is meant to help California lower its carbon
footprint and included vehicles meeting clean emission standards. More than
a million decals have been issued. But that benefit is
coming to an end.

Speaker 2 (25:25):
Yeah, it's over all. Good things do come to an end,
and this one is over.

Speaker 3 (25:30):
I'm shocked.

Speaker 10 (25:31):
I didn't know that.

Speaker 16 (25:32):
Starting October first, drivers who are riding alone won't be
allowed in the HOV lane, even with a sticker.

Speaker 3 (25:38):
Oh that's horrible.

Speaker 2 (25:39):
I mean a lot of these drivers they bought the
EV for principally, if not solely, for this reason, to
get into the diamond lane. And you may have purchased
that car in August thinking, well, at least you got
a year or two, three, five, six years of being
in the diamond lane. No, now you have a car
you may not have wanted. You only wanted it for
the diamond lane, and now that is coming to an end.

(26:03):
Next week.

Speaker 16 (26:03):
Next Tuesday, California Department of Motor Vehicles sent out notices
saying the federal government is putting the brakes on the program.

Speaker 15 (26:10):
Not having the benefit of the EV lane stands to
add substantial amount of time. I'm guessing probably forty five
minutes to an hour to my daily commute.

Speaker 2 (26:20):
Okay, well, it might add forty five minutes to your commute,
but it'll loosen mine up because I live in that
diamond lane.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
Sorry, I know it's one.

Speaker 2 (26:29):
Of the most horrible parts of my personality, but I
can't sit in traffic if there's a lane moving. I
live in that lane. You use that lane, croch Oh,
come angel, do you use the lane solo?

Speaker 7 (26:48):
All of the time.

Speaker 2 (26:51):
I must have been in that lane, and I continue
at least three thousand times without getting a ticket. So
the first ticket I get it, I can amortize it
over a last you know, ten years, and that's three
or four cents a time, you know, for every violation.
So I know, but it's a great way to look
at it.

Speaker 7 (27:11):
It is it's exactly how I justify it.

Speaker 17 (27:13):
And I'm like, well, if when I get caught, it's
only going to be like pennies on the dollar every
time I've been in there.

Speaker 2 (27:19):
I mean, the if you want to, you know, put aside,
you know, twenty or thirty bucks a month, stick it
into an account, and then when that fine comes in
two or three years or two and three months, whatever
it is, then pay it out of that account and
you're going to get home much faster. All right, Now,
let me ask you something, Angel. When you do use
the diamond lane and your solo, are you a nervous wreck?

(27:42):
Are you constantly looking for cops?

Speaker 17 (27:44):
I'm constantly eyebawling the on and off ramps. I'm looking
far behind me to see if I see anything that
remotely resembles any kind of law patrol or law enforcement.
And you know, I've gotten really close before I felt
getting busted.

Speaker 7 (28:00):
I don't know, they let me skate or something.

Speaker 3 (28:02):
Well you got pulled over?

Speaker 7 (28:04):
Well there was.

Speaker 17 (28:05):
I think I passed one that was in the regular
lanes and that was a no no. And then one
hopped on the freeway and started to get over and
I slid out of the lane.

Speaker 3 (28:18):
Oh good for you.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
Yeah, it's a it's cat mouse out there with the
you know, the diamond lane. I told I heard from
a friend who is on highway patrol. I think he's
retired now, but he told me that when it rains
in southern California, they never pull anybody who's violating the
diamond lane rules. They never pull anybody over because it's

(28:41):
too dangerous to pull them over six or seven lanes
of traffic to give them a ticket. So I told
that to my sister, and then two weeks later his raining,
she got the Diamond Lane ticket.

Speaker 3 (28:52):
Oh no, four ticket.

Speaker 7 (28:54):
Oh no.

Speaker 3 (28:55):
She was really thrilled about that.

Speaker 7 (28:56):
She's like, thanks, Tim, thanks.

Speaker 2 (28:58):
I think she sent me the bill for that one.
All right, But the HOV single it's coming to an end, and.

Speaker 15 (29:04):
I could imagine Friday evenings being a two and a
half hour commute, which I'm not looking forward to.

Speaker 16 (29:09):
Joe Nuniez regularly drives fifty miles or more.

Speaker 3 (29:13):
Not happy about it.

Speaker 15 (29:13):
I mean that was part of the initial impetus behind
getting these vehicles.

Speaker 3 (29:18):
That's right.

Speaker 2 (29:19):
It may have been the only reason you got one.
You know, you don't like to drive the car, but
you got the Diamond Line.

Speaker 15 (29:24):
Is to take advantage of the commute. Given that we're
in southern California, you do see a lot of individual
drivers with the EV stickers.

Speaker 14 (29:30):
I think that the.

Speaker 16 (29:31):
Roads are going to get a little bit more trafficking.
Existing CAV decals were supposed to be good for four years,
but not anymore. They will all become invalid October first,
regardless of when they were issued.

Speaker 2 (29:42):
I wonder if they'll start to give tickets immediately there
there'll be some kind of grace period that's expect time,
because it's like you have an EV vehicle, you expect
that you can use it, but now it's like, yeah,
it's over.

Speaker 7 (29:51):
I don't know, we can't use it anymore.

Speaker 16 (29:53):
And while there are drivers all.

Speaker 2 (29:55):
Very observant of her that she could use it, and
then the rules change so she can't use it anymore.

Speaker 3 (30:00):
Just on top of it, do.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
You have an EV vehicle, you expect that you can
use it, but now it's like it's over.

Speaker 7 (30:06):
I don't know, we can't use it anymore.

Speaker 16 (30:07):
While you are drivers already planning to make adjustments.

Speaker 15 (30:11):
Perhaps arrange my, you know, my schedule around non busy
traffic times.

Speaker 16 (30:18):
Some think it won't make too much of a difference.

Speaker 2 (30:21):
With so many electric vehicles and different hybrid vehicles and
things like that.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
I don't really think it's a viable shortcut.

Speaker 1 (30:28):
At this moment.

Speaker 2 (30:29):
It is, it still is. It's it. You know, it
can knock three to ten minutes off your commute. But
I had a business plan that I wanted to do
about twenty years ago when this started. I want to
start a business called Diamond Lane Kids, where you know,
you take kids that are like, you know, ten, eleven,
twelve years old, they're not doing anything in the summer,

(30:51):
and you could rent the kid to drive from Orange
County to LA just stick them in the back, and
then you can use the diamond lane. And when the
kid gets down there, he gets in another car and
he gets ride back to you know, Los Angeles, and
he gets paid. You know, he gets paid like ten
bucks an hour. And then my wife said, well, do
you think there are a lot of parents will allow

(31:13):
their ten year old kids to drive around the freeways
all day with strangers. I didn't think about that, you know,
I didn't get into the minutia of the business. I
didn't write the business plan out. I just thought it
was a good idea. And she asked all over the
idea and never came together, never came together.

Speaker 3 (31:30):
But I thought that was a great idea.

Speaker 2 (31:31):
Diamond lane kids, you know, stick a kid in the
back of your car, ride in that diamond lane, then
drop his ass off, and then he gets ride back
and he also gets paid. Everybody wins. But my you know,
very you know, my wife who's always half half empty
with the cup. What about the parents? You think parents
allow their kids to do this, I'm like, oh.

Speaker 3 (31:52):
Christ a Mighty or always say on my idea. All right.
